Just been looking over the HWT hit counter stats and there are a few funny searches that we turn up for:

surreptiously (is that even a word? I thought it was spelt differently) top 10 result
buzz-saw weapon - worryingly we are first page :D and someone was searching for it :blink:
turbo-booster space marines - wtf? 2nd cos of the battle report
tyrinids - not spelt right, and I don't have a clue where we are supposed to be on the results :\
"Gangsta shooting" - worrying, but we turn up because of a conversion
warhammer wallpaper - someone being blind on Yahoo and finding the old IBBoard website because it had wallpapers for The Sims (the description it returns is ".. Home. Warhammer. Warhammer 40K. Extra Bits. Others. Links ... New objects, wallpaper and floors for 'The Sims' game by EA) ...")
liber chaotica limited edition - we don't seem to be in the results and I don't have a clue why we would turn up, unless its a forum topic somewhere
build a speargun - I hope the guy wasn't meaning literally!

and strangest of all:
guinny -pig -vamps -dog - not a clue why people were searching for that, but its the name of someone who did one of the ADFs!

Anybody else ever seen any strange searches? done any strange searches? or turned up some worrying results for a normal search?

yeah, think -keyword works, it just depends what you are searching. I know what you mean though, I've tried it and had results that had the word in the description. Maybe it just depends on what it has cached

wooo, a perfect hit for one search - "stormboyz shark" returns four results with us top :) I knew the descriptions of my painted models would come in useful somewhere :)
